Multicenter StudyThe Mortality Index for Alcohol-Associated Hepatitis: A Novel Prognostic Score.
To develop a new scoring system that more accurately predicts 30-day mortality in patients with alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH). ⋯ The MIAAH competes with the current prognostication models and is at a minimum as accurate as these existing scores in identifying patients with AH at high risk of short-term mortality. Furthermore, the MIAAH demonstrates advantageous performance characteristics in its ability to increasingly accurately dichotomize patients into those at highest risk of death and those likely to survive.

Cardioselective Versus Nonselective β-Blockers After Myocardial Infarction in Adults With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
To investigate which types of β-blockers have better efficacy and safety profiles in patients with concomitant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and myocardial infarction (MI) to address concerns about use of β-blockers in COPD. ⋯ Patients prescribed a cardioselective β-blocker may have a lower incidence of all-cause mortality, MACCE, heart failure hospitalization, and MAPE than those prescribed a nonselective β-blocker. Cardioselective β-blocker treatment during hospitalization and continuing after discharge appears to be superior to nonselective β-blocker treatment in patients with COPD after MI.

Changes in Burnout and Satisfaction With Work-Life Integration in Physicians and the General US Working Population Between 2011 and 2020.
To evaluate the prevalence of burnout and satisfaction with work-life integration (WLI) among physicians and US workers in 2020 relative to 2011, 2014, and 2017. ⋯ Burnout and satisfaction with WLI among US physicians improved between 2017 and 2020. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on physicians varies on the basis of professional characteristics and experiences. Physicians remain at increased risk for burnout relative to workers in other fields.
